Before we come to the questions, imagine this…You are at work. The vast majority of people around you are happy, engaged, motivated and they make you feel good about yourself – even in the Post ‘Brexit’ and ‘Trumpit’ era.

The reality is that many UK organisations are not like that. There will be some of you reading this, thinking that the above description is a utopian fantasy, that cannot exist in your workplace.

For you, the reality may be that you are surrounded by people that are unhappy; demotivated, disengaged and because of that they drain the life out of you.

It is likely that your reality will fit somewhere in between these two disparate scenarios, and if it is then you have some real room for improvement, but you need to ask the following burning questions:

  • Are you a good employer?
  • Are your people engaged?
  • Do they feel valued and included?
  • Is there fairness for all?

If you answered ‘no’ or ‘I don’t know’ to any of the above questions, then you need to do something about it now. But where do you start? Read on.
